Days after the body of a Maine woman was found in a New Hampshire pond, residents of the town where she was found are still in shock.

Krista Dittmeyer, 20, last spoke to family members one week ago, and her car was found Saturday at Cranmore Mountain with her 14-month-old daughter inside. Dittmeyer's body was found in a snow making pond Wednesday.

The cause of Dittmeyer's death has not been released pending a toxicology report. People in North Conway said they are still in shock at the events that shook their small, close community.

"I moved up here from Massachusetts, near Boston, and it was commonplace," said resident Janet Moore. "But not up here. Not up here at all."

Dittmeyer's death is being handled as a criminal investigation by the attorney general's office. Her family has said it believes she was killed. Some residents said they are in fear of their safety, while others are waiting for answers.

"It's a really sad time for us because it's an awful event that has occurred," said Brian Wilcox, general manager of Cranmore Mountain. "We don't know the scope of the event. A lot of questions are being asked, but the community at large is just troubled by the event and what's happened."

Wilcox said yellow crime scene tape still marks the area being investigated.

"What we want as Cranmore Mountain and as residents of this area is some closure and some answers on all of this," he said.

Authorities have not named any suspects or persons of interest. Investigators said the toxicology report could take four to six weeks to come back.
